Good mornin everyone.
Yesterday's PT totally kicked my ass. I had a different therapist and he really worked it. I am so sore today and barely slept at all. It's gonna be a long long day. I have to get 5 packages ready to mail today. They'll go out tomorrow morning. One of my friends bought some collector horror bears that another friend had sent me. With financial stuff being tight it was a huge help.
We have the kids after school. We're also going to get what else we need for thanksgiving. Just apples, a few lemons and maybe some buttermilk. We haven't decided on the last one yet for the potatoes.
I am feeling a little burnt out. This lyrica is really making me drag but is helping with nerve pain. I have to decide if it's worth it. It's about 80% worth it right now.
QOTD: my late uncles wife always did one for the family thing and it is disgustingly nasty. She isn't a good cook(or person lol that's for another time). She'd always experiment with adding stuff. Once using cranberries in it. Eww. Now my SIL makes it and it's not as nasty but not my cup of tea. BUT I have some to make her not feel bad. I'm a green bean snob. I hate frozen ones and I can tolerate canned in soups. I just prefer fresh.
B: eggs, Turkey sausage, cheese and coffee
L: ????
D: also unknown. It depends on if we feed the kids or not,

Ah Friday you grace us all with your presence. I have a half day today and I'm praying nothing crazy happens.
Have to stop at the feed store to grab some critter grain. I plan on sorting through my chickens and thin out the flock. I think we have about 47 chickens. Some are egg layers, and some are meat ones, but I really don't want to feed all of them throughout the Winter. I think I want to keep 10 egg layers and 10 meat ones with one rooster for both pens or I might just keep 15 meat hens with one rooster since the hens have started laying eggs they just don't lay as long as a true egg layer. I'll figure that out tomorrow. Other than that, not much planned for the weekend.
QOTD: Did you or your family ever get on the green bean casserole train? I remember so many years ago when it came out and people it seemed everywhere was making it for the holidays. While I never made it, I have had it at different family events. I mean it was OK, just not something I felt the need to make myself and I like green beans.
B: coffee and protein shake
L: chicken satay and fried rice
D: baked cod with spinach
Have a great Friday everyone and weekend.

Body dysmorphia after rapid weight loss is common, as the mind often doesn't have time to accept the new reality of your appearance. Comparing your photos of yourself to those of "normal-sized" people can actually be a useful way to adjust your self-image, allowing you to see the changes more objectively. It's similar sometimes to playing mobile app games and the rest of the business. With patience and positive reinforcement, your mental image will gradually come into alignment with your physical changes.

Unfortunately yes. I hate horror movies but I told her I'd watch it with her.
it's really popular at her school.

It's pretty much like a pumpkin pie but made with butternut squash instead of pumpkin. For some reason Irvin much prefers that over pumpkin. I think his mom made that because she was from West Virginia and back in the day did things different than in New England.

Five nights at Freddy's is a very creepy horror movie. Have you seen it?

Good Morning Jen and Meneurs,
I never heard of squash pie it sounds interesting. We have a younger generation taking charge at our company as well and yes, I see some entitlement. I only got somewhere between 5-7 years that will not go fast enough. The gym owner texted me this morning and I am going to buy my own cycle shoes. I think it will motivate me to go to more Bike and Burn classes. I am not one to waste money so if I have invested, I should be more motivated.
QOTD: My dad used to make a dressing that had ground meat raisins bread and the giblets from the turkey. It was the best dressing in the universe. He never taught me the recipe. My brother and I have both tried to replicate it and never came close. It is still burned in my brain but probably can never have it again.
Accountability: Just some more Kettle corn.
TSS: 6 years 11-months 10-days 168.6 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: snack select, L&F toasted Marshmallow Greek yogurt, pear
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: Zucchini lasagna, braciole and Clementines
D: Shrimp and grits and a salad
Exercise: Dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest blessings

I love to organize and keep trying to justify buying a cricut to make fancy labels for organizing. I have used a label machine called the PTouch for probably 40 years and replaced it once or twice. They cost around $30-$50. I have lots of different colors of tapes for different projects.
A cricut is much more expensive but people make such beautiful artistic labels with them. I have a dream of running a home organizing business where I would go in and make people's closets, drawers, pantries, and refrigerators into attractivly organized and labeled masterlpieces.
Labels are the secret of organizing and keeping it organized. Without labels it is too easy to put things in the wrong place and then not be able to find them when they are needed. Everytime I go to put a cricut in my Amazon or craft store shopping cart, I talk myself out of it when I see the total with the machine and the supplies.
My favorite is cherry pie. I used to bake a lot of pies for Thanksgiving and some were cherry. After surgery I also would bake one cherry pie that was sugar-free. Giant Eagle here sells a cherry pie that I have to admit is just as good as mine. It is $20 a pie and seems like a lot but I will buy one for Thanksgiving.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, everyone!
We got a bit of snow yesterday. Not even enough to cover the grass, but a measurable amount is on the ground, so it's our first snow of the year. For some reason we have been more likely to have a White Thanksgiving than a White Christmas.
I much prefer traveling at the end of the week so that I come home to a weekend to rest. I requested the Wed. -Fri. Meeting session, but I got placed in the early one. So I'm on the train this morning, heading into the city.
Back to CrossFit tonight, I tried to go on Sunday, but my app didn't seem to work.
QOTD: I will dump on too much sugar, so I try to keep the dessert portions small, as far as the main course, I'm pretty much unchanged except for quantity.
Breakfast: bagel
Lunch: chicken parm
Dinner: short ribs
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
the only thing set in stone today is my physical therapy appointment. Other than that money is tight due to an unexpected bill that needed to be paid. Life is...well life. We may have to go to Walmart to pick up a prescription.
i may take the time to clean my disaster of a bedroom. All my chainmaille supplies are all over my room. I suck at organizing. I need to put up some of my vinyls for my cricut. Of which I also need to do a few transfers for my nieces on a few hoodies.my oldest niece is into fnaf(five nights at Freddy's). I don't get it but it's not for me to get. I have a packed week next week other than just thanksgiving. An appointment on Monday, two on Tuesday and one on Wednesday..
QOTD: I like a really good sweet potato pie but rarely fix it because my mom and me are the only ones who like it. Then there would be to much left over to eat. Savory wise I guess the fried okra which I now do in the air fryer.
b: eggs, cheese and coffee
l: unplanned
d: shrimp spring rolls
we got a new bed for the cats. Both the older ones won...sort of.
